A Public Reception.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Mrs. Cleveland
held her last public reception this afternoon.
and it was attended by more people than
any similar event at the White house. The
crowd was composed mainly Of ladies, and
its number was estimated at 900. The
members OF several excursion parties from
Baltimore. Brooklyn and other places
helped to swell the throng. The
people began to assemble at the White
house hours before the time set for opening
the doors. The reception began at O'Clock
and lasted till 5. At $50 o'clock the crowd
in front of the house extended in line six
abreast from the main doorway through the
grounds out at the west gate and east along
Pennsylvania avenue as far as Fifteenth
street, distance of more than three city
blocks. Constant accesSions were received
from all directions, and the line became so
dense that several ladies tainted and had to
be taken away. When the doors were
finally opened, those who entered first had
been standing on the White house porch for
at least two hours. After paying their re-
spects to Mrs. Cleveland and the ladies
who assisted her. Miss Cleveland, Mrs.
Folsom, Miss Endcott and Miss La
mar, the people fingered to admire the
beautiful decorations OF the parlors, and as
consequence the house soon became I'M
comfortably crowded and locomotion was
slow and difficult. 1t therefore became alb
solutely necessary to close the doors at eX-
actly 5 O'Clock and turn away many hun
dreds OF ladies who had taken their places
at the end of the line soon after it began to
move.

bound freight train on the Pennsylvania
railroad broke near Collins station early
this morning, and the rear portion was
run into by another freight train, wreck
ing several cars and throwing them on

the trains were badly wrecked No one
was injured. The wreck has been removed

committee On appropriations had thought
that the time had come when
WAR UPON THE DEAD

WAR UPON THE DEAD
should cease There was nothing in the
proposition of the committee which could
even by inference be tortured into the
question of who was right and who was
wrong. How he stood upon that question
was well known to the house and to the
country. bu. when the war was over he
wanted to mend rather than to destroy,
reopen and tear down. Mr.. Cutcheon
(Michigan) was in favor of protecting the
graves of Confederate soldiers who had
died on Northern soil, far from friends and
kindred. That those men had been brave
all men knew. The only fault he found
was that they were too brave in what he
considered bad cause. They were Ameri-
cans. and therefore they were brave. and if
the time ever came when Americans would
stand shoulder to shoulder in common
cause the world would learn that the
American soldiery was the best and brayest
soldiery in the world. whether it came from
North or from South. But he did not
think it was the duty of the government to
hunt out and protect the resting places of
these ConfederateS who lay in Southern soil.
Mr.. Curtin made speech in which he dep
recated the attempt to stir up the
PASSIONS OF THE WAR,
declaring that he was sick and tired of
such attempts made by men who had had
nothing whatever to do with it. Mr.. But
terWorth spoke earnestly in favor of pro-
tecting the cemeteries in which lay together
the bodies of Union and Confederate sol
diers. He did not give way to anybody in
hatred of the institution of secession. but
he did not feel called upon to part with
common sense, and he recognized the
duties which Christian civliZa-
ton imposed upon him. Mr.. King
Ua.) stated for the benefit of
his friends on the other side that the GENE
teries in the South. in which lay the remains
of the Confederate dead. We're we'll cared
for The people of that section held the
graves OF the dead as the most sacred leg
acy Of the lost cause. On motion of Mr.
Randall the senate amendment was non
concurred in for the purpose Of enabling
the committee of conference to frame a
measure in accordance with the views of
both sides of the house. Pending further
action on the senate amendments the COM
mttee rose and the house adjourned.

Floods Near Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-The village of
Cummings, H., is pretty well flooded out,
the water having risen eight inches since
Thursday night, compelling the street cars
Oh One Hundred and-Fourth street to stop
running. The school houses have been
closed, it being impossible for enough
scholars to attend to warrant continuance;
besides, the water was nearly up to the
furnace fires and was expected soon to
eXtinguish them. 1t was expected that
the nail factory would shut down any
minute, and many of the tracks in the yard
disappeared. At South Chicago yesterday,
the water in the flooded portions of the
town had risen in some places ten inches
since the day previous. The water in the
river had risen foot, and the bitches
leading to it were crowded to their:utmost
capacity. The greatest suffering was in
the northern part of the town, where the
state OF the water was such as to compel
number OF families to leave their homes.

On motion OF Mr.. McCOmos (Maryland) the

children in Alaska, Notwithstanding the
recommendation OF the committee on ap-
preparations to the contrary. In speaking
to verbal amendment Mr.. Clifford, of
Dakota, took occasion to criticize the Da-

able preteXt, an insult to his people and
miserable proposition which they would
spurn with contempt. Mr.. Hill (OhiO)
incidentally gave notice that he would call
up the Dakota admission bill on Wednes-
day next.

the minister told the story. He was the
stranger who had shared Mr.. Ames' seat
in the cars the night beforel
The subsequent proceedings were
fraught with painful interest for at least
two of that audience. Mrs. Ames whis-
pered to her husband that she noticed
that Mrs. DIR. Holmes wore a new seal
skin, but he needed her not, and when
the congregation rose to sing he kept his
seat, despite that lady's reproving look.
He stole a furtive glance at Mr.. Gilkey
to see how he bore it. That gentleman,
after some discussion with his wife, arose
and held the book for her during the
hymn, but he hung his head and looked
crushed in spirit. Mrs. Gilkey, on the
contrary, carried her head and the new
bonnet with conscious dignity, and sang
like q robin.
To Mr.. Ames' excited imagination that
service was ten hours long, although the
clock only indicated an hour and a half.
Brandon had not heard such a sermon
for many a day; but Mr.. Ames, alasl
couldn't have told a word there was in
it. He counted the pipes In the organ,
the crystals on the chandeliers, the panes
of glass in the windows, in his frantic
attempts to make the time pass. But
every time he returned from some alb
struse, numerical calculation only to
hear the eloquent tones of the preacher
and behold the people hanging in rapt
attention on every word.

averted gaze, and pretended not to hear.
He jammed his hat down over his
eyes and shot out of the door with more
haste than dignity. On the corner he
stopped and waited for his wife, who de-
manded, sternly, how he supposed that a
man was going to come up to dinner II
he wasn't invited? And he told her,

Pistol Duel Across q Table.

A few days after the battle of Waterloo
a Mr.. Trevor and a certain captain while
at a dinner party quarreled about a lady.
The captain being a splendid shot and
Trevor almost blind, the latter demanded
that they should fire at each other across
a table.
Some one secretly suggested that the
pistols should be loaded without ball, and
this was done. The two adversaries,
who believed their last hour wa come,
were as pale al death; but if they were
a prey to deep emotion, not a muscle
trembled. ''Who will give us the sig
nal?" asked the captain. The person
who undertook to give the signal said
with a trembling voice, RAISE your pis-
tolls" The muzzles touched the breast
of the combatants. ''When / count
three, fire. One-two-three y They
fired and recoiled from the shock.
Whats the meaning of this?'' exclaimed
the two combatants. "Who has dared to
make fools of us? There are no balls
in the pistolsp' "Honor is satisfied"
exclaimed the friends around them.
Trevor ground his teeth. "The remedy
is easy enough" said the captain, point
ing to some swords suspended from the
wall. He took down two, measured
them, and presented one to his adversary,
who seized it eagerly. ''Now there shall
be no trickery." he exclaimed. AStand
off, SIR" They stood face TO face and
the blades glistened. The contest was
short. One of them soon fell-it was
the captain. He expired without a groan.
.'Oh, my Godl" exclaimed Trevor.
''What have / done? Is all this reality?'
and in terrible despair he flung himself
upon the corpse of his rival, which he
shook convulsively, as though to bring it
to life again. -Dueling Days in the
